Repeated measures ANOVA (2X2: measurement x group) on the Duda and Nicholls satisfaction scale in a study of 260 8th-grade students; the experimental group improved from M=2.91 to M=3.79 while the control group remained stable. The article reports a "statistically significant interaction" with F(1,258)=169.69, p<.001.

"The results showed that there was a statistically significant interaction between the variable “measurement” and “group” for the «satisfaction» [F(1,258)=169.69, p<.001]."
